Mr. Gladstone Has Decided to Remain In
London During the Session.
LONDON. February 1.-The government is
still undecided whether the Procedure Bill
or the Irish measures shall be introduced
first in the coming session. The Tories ar
que that the mildness OF the proposed
measures for the control of Ireland cannot
fail to secure for them the assent of the
moderate Gladstonians; while the proposal
to begin the session with the bill to reform
the rules Of procedure would raise Par
nsllite cry that the real object OF the Con-
servatives is to establish gag system in
Parliament as q prelude to the introduc-
ton OF strong coertive measures for Ire
land. The Cabinet Council to-day will fur
ther discuss the question.
Mr.. Gladstone will arrive in London on
Monday. He has not taken residence for
the whole OF the Parliament season. His
friends say he is elated at recent events in
the political world, and confidently pre-
diets bis return to power in May.
Lord Randolph Churchill insists on max
ing an explanation OF his resignation from
the chair at the opening OF Parliament.
The Marquis OF Salisbury is strongly op-
posed to this course and tried to dissuade
Churchill from it; but it is rumored that
he ended by giving way to the impetuous
and strong willed young politician. There
is an unusually large application for seats
to tho strangers gallery for the opening OF
the session, in anticipation OF this incl
dent.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach surprised a
junior clerk in Dublin Castle making a
comic sketch representing the Chief Secre-
tary trying to patch with cement a broken
china doll which represented an Irish land
lord. Underneath the sketch were written
the words. ''Micky the Botch." The result
was that the clerk received curt letter of
dismissal. The clerk replied that he would
send the letter to United Ireland for publi-
cation. Thereupon, it is reported, Sir
Michael withdrew his order Of dismissal
and retained the clerk.

HELENA, February 1. Richards pre-
sented petition and the resolution OF Sat
urday's meeting in Butte on the Variety
bill.
Waters gave notice OF bill for the erec-
tion of Territorial prison and the GUS
tody and labor OF prisoners.
The bill prohibiting the sale. OF liquor to
INDECENT poor was amended by inserting
the word Knowingly"
report lavorably on tho bill for the trans
fer of the records OF Butte townsite; also
on the memorial relating to the ex-
tension of public surveys. A
spirited debate then took place
upon the substitute for the Rape
a bill, which places the age OF consent at IA
years. Sutherlin moved to amend to 16
years. Richards seconded the motion in a
forcible speech, in which he said there was
apparently no argument needed, as the
House said it should be Is and the Council
judiciary said IA, showing clearly that the
legislature is in favor OF raising the age,
and he thought that il there were any
reason or argument in favor OF raising it
to IA, he thought the same argu'
ments would apply equally to 16.
It is simply better protection to society
that is asked.
Kennedy thought boys needed better
protection. He said man was stronger in
some ways, but always proved vul-
nerable to woman. He believed the
crime OF rape was not common in Montana
az the many petitioners insultingly insinu-
ated and wanted the age fixed at IA.
Collins did not favor the amendment.
He thought it would be an outrage to send
a man to prison fox having sexual inter
course with young woman with her con-
sent, as might be the case if the age is fixed
at 16.
